Lusting after Brian Sims

Pennsylvania State Rep, Brian SimsNot only do I think Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Sims is damn sexy, but I also agree with his politics – which in a strange way makes him even more sexy (incidentally didn’t even know that was possible).

So imagine my frustration when I Googled “Shirtless Brian Sims” hoping to feature him as this week’s Furry Friday (he MUST have a hairy chest) and nothing came up?!? Where is the justice?  Has Brian never been photographed without his shirt? I think Pennsylvanians should immediately pass a law mandating Brian should be photographed shirtless.  Until that time you’ll have to satisfy your more base desires with these devastatingly handsome photos of this progressive, out and proud State Rep. whom I hope we will eventually see on the national platform.

P.S. Brian… Like the song says, “Please come to Boston” or better yet, Provincetown this summah.

Michael Sam steps out of the closet

gay football playerMichael Sam, the ferocious 260-pound Missouri defensive end, SEC Defensive Player of the Year and a potential high-round pick in May’s NFL draft stepped out of the closet when he told the New York Times today that he is gay.

Perhaps the New York Times wrote it best when John Branch wrote about this college senior, “As the pace of the gay rights movement has accelerated drastically in recent years, the sports industry has changed relatively little, with no publicly gay male athletes in the N.F.L., the N.B.A., the N.H.L. or Major League Baseball. Against this backdrop, Mr. Sam could become a symbol for the country’s gay rights movement or a flash point in a football culture war — or both.”

You can read the New York Times interview here.  ESPN as one might guess also has a great feature on the story here. Thanks for the tip lil brother, you even beat the HuffingtonPost alarm that came thru earlier tonight.

Bravo Google

Gay GoogleJust in case you can’t read the chicken scratch  from the screen shot, I wanted to share what Google has posted on their home page.  My guess is that Russia’s Federal Law #135 prohibits the rainbow display and disclaimer but I’m curious if the same message is on Google’s page in Russia.  In the US it reads:

“The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” –Olympic Charter

Russian gay app Hunters is hacked

On the eve of the 2012 Summer Olympics one of the world’s largest gay apps, Grindr, crashed for users in East London.  It was rumored that Grindr’s servers were overloaded by all the athletes and tourists who had descended upon London to watch the games.  True or not it was definitely funny to read about.

Clearly Sochi is no London.  Earlier this week Towleroad reported on how a popular gay dating app in Russia called Hunters was hacked. Sochi OlympicsPeople who logged on were greeted by this anonymous threat which reads, “You will be arrested and jailed for gay propaganda in Sochi according to Russian Federal Law #135 Sektion 6“.

Hackers completely destroyed the profiles and messages of some 72,000 users.  On the Feb. 2nd, just a few days before the opening of the Olympic Games, users trying to open this gay app in Sochi were greeted with an alert saying that their profile was blocked for the next 55,000 minutes (38 days). You may read the full post on Towleroad here.

Scotland says “I do” to marriage equality

scotland marriage equalityScotland’s first same-sex marriages are set to take place later this year after the Scottish parliament voted to pass the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill by a margin of 105-18 earlier today.

Let’s face it men in kilts are sexy and when you have two men in kilts it is twice as sexy so it looks like marriage just got a whole lot more sexy.  Apparently, Timberlake isn’t the only one bringing sexy back. More information about Scotland’s landmark vote here.

Nevada A.G. claims marriage equality is like bigamy and incest

Nevada Attorney GeneralNevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto (D) has backed off of the brief she submitted for the Sevick v. Sandoval case that is challenging Nevada’s ban on same sex marriage.  In her brief response, filed last Tuesday, the A.G. suggested that allowing gay couples to being married is tantamount to bigamy and incest.

While I firmly believe all arguments are highly suspect and hypocritical, it seems even more obscene considering Nevada’s reputation for ridiculing the institution of marriage. Perhaps the Nevada A.G. might like to consider Ms. Spear’s mockery of a marriage to Jason Alexander that lasted 50+ hours or the circus-like atmosphere perpetuated by the countless number of “wedding chapels” in Nevada before she postulates about the sanctity of marriage and the values of  Nevada residents.
